~:[CH11 - Day 11]:~ Keeping the Faith
It's not easy to keep the faith. I witnessed one of the worst offensive halves I have ever seen in an NBA game. Granted, the Clippers are definitely down a lot of players, however, there is no excuse to only do what they did in the first half. It was easy to feel hopeless. Their defense, however, was pretty strong and so they were hanging around despite not being able to put the ball in the basket. Their defense picked up as I specially remember Eric Bledsoe hustling for a steal and before I knew it, we hit a shot to take the lead. Yes, I said it, the lead. The Clippers were down 25, yet overcame that deficit to win by two. Their best players were ones who came off the bench previously or sometimes not at all and in all these instances, it has been nice to see guys step up. Who knows what lies on the road ahead, but seeing the fight and the will of this team tonight was inspirational. I thought back to all the big games they came back in and I've been lucky enough to witness many of them. Through them all, we had to just keep believing and while many times the comebacks fell short, those few times they succeeded, we were left with an indescribable feeling. Keep the faith as you never know just when that breakthrough moment is waiting.
